Speaking of stupid lines...

I got a call to back up a motor officer on a traffic stop. The guy he stopped had open warrants and I advised I'd be checking by to transport his arrest to the sally port at the station. Guy is already cuffed and as my partner is putting him in the backseat they start arguing.

Now the arguing wasn't threatening, wasn't bad guy telling good guy that he's gonna kick his ass when he gets to jail, nothing. It looked like two little kids bickering. I stood at the back of the patrol car and my head went left to right to left to right to left to right like watching a tennis match. Something like this:

Bad guy: What if I don't wanna go to jail?
Good guy: Well tough! You're going!
Bad guy: No I'm not!
Good guy: Yes you are!
Bad guy: Shut up motherfvcker!
Good guy: You shut up!
Bad guy: No YOU shut up!
Good guy: YOU! Dumbass!
Bad guy: You can't cuss at me!
Good guy: OH YEAH?! You started it! {{{{SLAMS BACK DOOR}}}}

So we walk up to the wrecker and have the guy sign the tow slip and my partner is huffing and pacing. I pat him on the back and lean against the front of the patrol car with my arms crossed. He stops pacing and asks "What?" I couldn't help myself "You started it? That's the best you could come up with?" He realized how stupid he sounded and was trying not to laugh "Shut up." It was hard not to giggle driving his prisoner to the jail.

Moments like that are hilarious. I love it when you run thier prints and the whole time they are saying how they did nothing wrong and never have. Then records come back and the guy will have like an 8 page rapsheet. Classic.

YES! Every freaking time! I will give someone the chance to shoot straight with me when I ask "What have you been arrested for?" Never fails, they'll be like "Just traffic." riiiight. "Traffic huh? So what's this about you being popped for burglary, 2 counts of theft and you're still on probation?" stammering ensues "Well, I did get popped for traffic after the burglary and the thefts." It's all clear to me now "So it was like on base--not it? Since you got popped on traffic that the other big things don't really count?" he grins "Yyyeah." *sigh* "Damn the bad luck son, explain that to the judge, cuz he's all excited to meet you again. Let's go."
